Captchas are broken, though they still offer some defense.

The best bet really would be to do something during account creation that is specific to the BM wiki. If anyone finds an extension that does that, I'll be more than happy to install it. Something simple like "you need to enter your family name so we can link it" would do. Or the other option would be to move account creation into the game and disable account creation in MediaWiki. But that needs someone who researches how to script account creation in MediaWiki because I really don't have time for that right now.
